Few notes:
1: Right now the poster is called "FastEddie". Shouldn't spaces be added? (And any custom-titled names be used?)
2: I understand and agree with the reasons for having large poster names, but also think it should still be a touch smaller. It seems rather in-your-face about it, right now.
3: If possible, can a Preview function be added for writing new posts?
4. I think it'd look cleaner if the comments had smaller boxes than the main Tale box. While I'm on the subject, I also think that huge Troper names aren't needed for the comments, but that's just my opinion.
Looks great, Eddie.
Be looking forward to this being implemented.

Agreed, I get the reasoning behind the large troper names on the tales, but I think the comment names could safely be a little smaller. As well as the actual troper names, but I understand why it's the way it is.

Custom-titled tropes need to be recognized.
I know the page is unfinished, but I'm just mentioning this in case you forgot.
Diagonalizing The Matrix
Dropping in to mention something that has been bothering me for a while: the "stories about Insert Trope Here in troper's lives" format at the top has grammar issues.
#1 AFAIK it should be " tropers' "; #2 some trope names cause further grammar wreckage
For example, the Abandoned Hospital Troper Tales page currently reads: "Here we have true stories about Abandoned Hospital in troper's lives. What are yours?"
The easiest way I can think of to fix both issues is to change it into "Here we have true stories about the "Insert Trope Here" trope in tropers' lives. What are yours?"

is excellent. My main concern at this point is Troper Tales for things like Cloud Cuckoolander getting so many entries they become unmanageable.

Looks like we'll be switching over to the new system later tonight. When that happens, all troper tales UR Ls will lead to a page saying 'none entered, yet' (effectively). The archived old stuff will be available through a link, and the source of the archive will be available from a button on the archive display.
An archive look like this.
Eddie, I think the question is whether the Watchlist will show when edits are being made to a watched Troper Tales article, like it does now. How do you "watch" a page under the new system, anyway? Unlike things like Discussion, it seems that a person watching a trope might not necessarily want to always and automatically watch its Troper Tales page. In retrospect, we should have thought of this earlier... unless you did.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"It's more like Me Too!. Which is and always has been disposable and pointless.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"What about Troper Tales pages that have been added to the Permanent Red Link Club? Is there anything in place to prevent the creation of new tales for cut and locked pages, because that could potentially be a problem now the system's been reset.
Well I guess I got the First Post for Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch, but there seems to be a problem. My handle was created as nuclearneo577, so the link to my page is screwed up. Also, Fetish Fuel is not redirecting properly.

I like the collapsing/expanding comments. Will edits show up as a note at the top in one box or how will that work?
